    A nice facility, but had an unfortunate event

    One member of my party (separate reservation) had their passport "stolen" -either kept by the front desk staff at check-in, or taken from the room. (A valuable passport as the person is Cambodian, but has a US passport.) This is more of an issue with this area of Cambodia (44 passports stolen in Shihanoukville in January 2024 alone) - but did leave a level of distrust with the hotel

    Overall a nice hotel with decent facilities. The pool is excellent, restaurant is decent, rooms were spacious

    Cambodian owned and managed with a nice rooftop, big rooms and a beautiful nearby beach

    The coffee from the breakfast could be better :-)

    The Cambodian owned and managed hotel has very spacious rooms, a big balcony and a modern bathroom. It‘s worth staying here if you‘re traveling to the islands but want to make a stop on the way. The nearby beach (independence beach) is beautiful with some laid back local restaurants. I can also recommend the nice hotel rooftop and the Lab Salad there - amazing! Also the employees are very welcoming and giving their best to the typical Cambodian hospitality. If you want to know about the recent developments in Sihanoukville and some background stories of the hotel, don‘t hesitate to talk to the friendly managers. We would have loved to stay another night.

    Sihanoukville is a disappointment, the hotel is located in a construction site, buildings and rubbish around. There's nothing in the proximity for shopping, going out or exploring. The beach is not far but unfortunately we arrived too late to go there, so cannot comment. Overall, a great hotel in a bad place.

    Excellent hotel, very clean and spacious, has wonderful facilities: pool, steam sauna, bar etc. The staff are extraordinarily helpful and accommodating, they helped us with several enquiries. Beautiful, modern room that has everything you need. If you like to stay at the hotel, it's a great choice.

    - Breakfast not enough diversified for us / too heavy (but we know there are cultural experience, just need to be aware that it’s not the typical western breakfast you’ll find)

    - Big room - gym is quite nice - Breakfast is diverse but hot meals (cooked meat, rice, noodles…) to be excepted - Staff very nice and available - Cleanest pf the same price range hotels we made in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap

    Although one block back from the beach it was hard to find how to get to the beach. Had to walk through another hotel to get there.

    Huge room and the roof top pool was great.

    Very nice and new. Nothing wrong about it. Clean rooms, just need to open doors a bit to air. Nice pool and view from pool. Great staff that make you feel welcome.
